Chapter 1213 Intruder

"…New Nautilus?"

Star-Lord felt that the world had become crazy. Why would he see a huge ghost ship among the wreckage of an interstellar battlefield that had just experienced brutal killings?

Moreover, the name of this ghost ship is similar to a ship in a storybook that Star-Lord read when he was a child.

However, both in terms of size and the "sea surface" that should appear, there is a huge difference between the two ships.

"Could it be possible...could it be possible that all these space pirates were killed by this ghost ship?"

Rocket Raccoon's voice was a little shaky.

Gamora also swallowed her saliva: "It's very likely... Even my father has never owned a super-giant battleship of this scale. To be exact, I have never seen such a huge starship!"

Gamora's father is none other than Thanos, the cosmic overlord. This Titan of Destruction, who has traveled across the universe and destroyed countless planets, is proud of his mobile starship, the "Temple", which is only 5,000 meters long, far less than the 15,000-meter-long super-giant battleship in front of him.

To put it bluntly, if the new Nautilus was equipped with shipboard weapons according to the specifications of a standard battleship, it would only need one salvo to destroy a huge city with a population of over one million, and it would take only thirty minutes to completely annihilate the surface civilization of a planet.

There isn't even a space battleship in this universe that can compete with it.

The New Nautilus was too close to the Miranda, and the latter was unable to create enough distance to perform a space jump.

The behemoth in front of them didn't even need to be bombarded; a simple navigation collision would be enough to crush the Miranda into cosmic dust in an instant.

For a moment, the Miranda's cockpit was silent, except for the thunderous snoring of Drax.

But after waiting for a long time, the New Nautilus did not take any further action. It was just floating in space, without starting its engines, turning its gun ports, or sending any threatening signals.

Is it really a ghost ship?
Seeing that the other party did not take any further action, Gamora breathed a sigh of relief and quickly looked at Star-Lord: "Peter, let's run away!"

"No more rescue?" Rocket looked at Gamora in surprise.

"Humanitarian rescue is premised on our lives not being threatened!" Gamora said unhappily, "Peter, hurry up--"

"Wait, Gamora. Don't you think... this is a perfect opportunity?"

Star-Lord stroked his beard, his eyes gradually brightening.

"Chance?"

"This new Nautilus seems to be an ownerless object. Those space pirates may have attacked it out of greed, but were counterattacked by autonomous weapons and were wiped out. As long as we are cautious and use expert methods to sneak into this great treasure, maybe we can take it for ourselves?"

Star-Lord became more and more confident as he spoke, and he was eager to rush in and occupy the bridge of the new Nautilus.

Rocket Raccoon also laughed out loud immediately: "Damn it Peter, that's the most correct and nice thing you've said in the past four months!"

"Four months? What did I say four months ago that turned you on?"

"Four months and three days ago, you got drunk at the celebration party on Xandar and said you wanted to give me the captain's position."

"…You do realize that's drunken talk, right, Rocket?"

"Thank you, I knew that just two seconds ago."

"Shut up you two idiots!"

Gamora's angry shout stopped Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon from bickering, and then she looked at Star-Lord: "Are you serious, Peter? Look at the cosmic debris around us. We are definitely no match for this new Nautilus. If you guess the wrong answer, we will be buried in the sea of ​​stars with these space pirates."

Star-Lord gave a sly smile: "Have some faith in me, Gamora. I'm an expert at deceiving and detecting danger."

Gamora sighed. What else could she say? Was she going to watch these idiots die?

After waking up Drax, the group made some brief preparations and flew to the New Nautilus in a spherical landing capsule, leaving only the tree man Groot, who was still in the sapling stage, in the Miranda.

Under the control of Rocket Raccoon, the spherical landing capsule flew at a steady speed, using the large pieces of space debris around it as cover as it continued to approach the New Nautilus.

Should we say that Rocket was very skilled, or that the New Nautilus was really unprepared? In short, the Guardians of the Galaxy arrived at the hatch of the New Nautilus safely.

Without electronic safety locks or physical barriers, the hatch of the new Nautilus was openly displayed to everyone.

The spherical landing capsule successfully opened its hatch with just two pushes of the engineering robotic arm.

"Look, what did I say? This is an ownerless giant treasure!"

Star-Lord was rubbing his hands with excitement. If he could get this super-giant starship, then he and his group would be able to immediately ascend from an 'insignificant small group of mercenaries' to the 'strongest mercenary group in the universe known to everyone'.

Entering the interior of the new Nautilus, everyone found that the interior style was quite retro. Both the engine room and the corridor were completely dark, with only minimal indicator lights flashing.

Everyone walked in the huge and empty metal corridor, and their boots made a chaotic sound when they collided with the metal floor.

“This shows that the starship is at the lowest energy consumption level. It is estimated that the self-regulatory program supplies most of the energy to the counterattack artillery system.

You see, this spaceship hasn't even started its propulsion engine and is drifting aimlessly in the universe.

The energy source of the entire spacecraft must be concentrated in the bridge where the self-regulatory program is located. Just follow the direction indicated by the energy source. "

Star-Lord was holding a portable energy detector while looking for the direction to the bridge, boasting to his companions about his wisdom and insight:
"Look, if I hadn't bravely led you into this ghost ship, wouldn't you have missed the greatest treasure in the universe?"

"Quil is so awesome!" Drax laughed in praise without knowing what he was saying, and his laughter echoed in the dark metal corridor.

Rocket Raccoon and Gamora couldn't help but roll their eyes, not wanting to pay any attention to Star-Lord's bragging.

Fortunately, the transport device in the starship was still usable. Unlike ordinary elevators, the new Nautilus's transport method was a suspended flying saucer. The Guardians of the Galaxy, who were riding this high-tech vehicle for the first time, cheered loudly.

After twists and turns and nearly forty minutes of exploration, everyone finally arrived at a huge hatch.

"The bridge should be in front."

Star-Lord put away the portable energy detector and took a deep breath: "Are you ready to receive the greatest treasure in the universe, brothers?"

He reached out for the hatch opening device, but before his hand touched it, the huge hatch suddenly clanged and opened to the side on its own.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment and could only bite the bullet and tiptoe into the cabin.

This is a classic three-story bridge. The control console and operating screen at the bottom are flashing with various lights and data, but the seats are all empty.

"Peter! Look!" Gamora suddenly grabbed Star-Lord and pointed forward.

I saw a figure sitting in the captain's seat at the top.

The man's attire had nothing to do with interstellar style. He wore a dark blue waterproof coat with a stand-up collar, a captain's hat, a mustache, long seaweed-like dark blue hair draped over his shoulders, gold earrings on both ears, and seven different rings on the ten fingers of both hands.

The most peculiar thing was that this person was wearing an anime-style eye mask with two abstract dull eyes painted on the surface of the eye mask. He was slumped in the captain's chair in an indecent posture, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a slight snoring sound.

When they saw this person, the Guardians of the Galaxy felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over their hearts.

The new Nautilus is not without an owner, but the owner is sleeping! Just like the owner of the house lying on the floating board in his own swimming pool to bask in the sun.

Robbery? Of course not. Although the Guardians of the Galaxy have bad personalities, they are definitely not bandits. They turned around and wanted to sneak away.

Bang! The hatch that was originally wide open suddenly closed.

Then the surrounding lights brightened, and a lazy voice sounded from behind everyone -

"Let me see, a bunch of petty thieves broke into my boat?"
